LBR$REPLACE_KEY

The LBR$REPLACE_KEY routine modifies or inserts a key into the library.

Format

LBR$REPLACE_KEY library_index ,key_name ,oldrfa ,newrfa [, flags]


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Arguments

library_index


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library control index returned by the LBR$INI_CONTROL routine. The library_index argument is the address of the longword that contains the index.

key_name


OpenVMS usage: char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor

For libraries with ASCII keys, the key_name argument is the address of a string descriptor for the key.

For libraries with binary keys, the key_name argument is the address of an unsigned longword value for the key.

oldrfa


OpenVMS usage: vector_longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Old record file address (RFA). The oldrfa argument is the address of a 2-longword array containing the original RFA (returned by LBR$LOOKUP_KEY) of the module header associated with the key you are replacing.

newrfa


OpenVMS usage: vector_longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

New RFA. The newrfa argument is the address of a 2-longword array containing the RFA (returned by LBR$PUT_RECORD) of the module header associated with the new key.

flags


OpenVMS usage: mask_longword
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

If present, the flags argument specifies the type of key being replaced. The flag bits are as follows:
Flag Bits Description
LBR$SYM_WEAK = 0x1 UNIX-style weak symbol attribute
LBR$SYM_GROUP = 0x2 Group symbol attribute

If this argument is not present, NonGroup-Global is the assumed type. In this case, all type lists are searched and the entries removed. The new symbol is placed in the new NonGroup-Global definition with newrfa as the defining module.

If this parameter is present, it represents the flags set for the type of symbol being replaced. The replacement is done in place without losing its position in the type list. If the symbol does not exist when the call to this routine is made, the new definition is placed at the end of the type list for the specified type.

Because there are now different symbol definition types, HP advises using the LBR$DELETE_KEY routine followed by the LBR$INSERT_KEY routine when the old key and new key differ in definition type.


Description

If LBR$REPLACE_KEY does not find the key in the current index, it calls the LBR$INSERT_KEY routine to insert the key. If LBR$REPLACE_KEY does find the key, it modifies the key entry in the index so that it points to the new module header.

Condition Values Returned

LBR$_ILLCTL Specified library control index not valid.
LBR$_INVRFA Specified RFA not valid.
LBR$_LIBNOTOPN Specified library not open.

LBR$RET_RMSSTV

The LBR$RET_RMSSTV routine returns the status value of the last OpenVMS RMS function performed by any LBR subroutine.

Format

LBR$RET_RMSSTV


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value in R0. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Arguments

None.

Description

The LBR$RET_RMSSTV routine returns, as the status value, the status of the last RMS operation performed by the Librarian. Each programming language provides an appropriate mechanism for accessing RMS status values.

Condition Values Returned

1
This routine returns any condition values returned by RMS routines.

LBR$SEARCH

The LBR$SEARCH routine finds index keys that point to specified data.

Format

LBR$SEARCH library_index ,index_number ,rfa_to_find ,routine_name [, flags]


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Arguments

library_index


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library control index returned by the LBR$INI_CONTROL routine. The library_index argument is the address of the longword that contains the index.

index_number


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library index number. The index_number argument is the address of a longword containing the number of the index you want to search.

rfa_to_find


OpenVMS usage: vector_longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference

Record file address (RFA) of the module whose keys you are searching for. The rfa_to_find argument is the address of a 2-longword array containing the RFA (returned earlier by LBR$LOOKUP_KEY or LBR$PUT_RECORD) of the module header.

routine_name


OpenVMS usage: procedure
type: procedure value
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Name of a user-supplied routine to process the keys. The routine_name argument is the address of the procedure value of a user-supplied routine to call for each key entry containing the RFA (in other words, for each key that points to the same module header).

This user-supplied routine cannot contain any calls to LBR$DELETE_KEY or LBR$INSERT_KEY.

flags


OpenVMS usage: mask_longword
type: longword unsigned
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

If present and nonzero, the flags argument specifies the type, or all types, of the key provided. The flag bits are as follows:
Flag Bits Description
LBR$M_SYM_WEAK = 0x1 UNIX-style weak symbol attribute
LBR$M_SYM_GROUP = 0x2 Group symbol attribute
LBR$M_SYM_ALL = 0x80000000 All symbols

The user routine is provided the symbol's type through an additional third parameter.


Description

The LBR$SEARCH routine searches the library index for symbols with the given RFA and calls the supplied routine with those symbols.

Use LBR$SEARCH to find index keys that point to the same module header. Generally, in index number 1 (the module name table), just one key points to any particular module; thus, you would probably use this routine only to search library indexes where more than one key points to a module. For example, you might call LBR$SEARCH to find all the symbols in the symbol index that are associated with an object module in an object library.

If LBR$SEARCH finds an index key associated with the specified RFA, it calls a user-supplied routine with two arguments:

  • The key argument, which is the address of either of the following items:
    • A string descriptor for the key name (libraries with ASCII key names)
    • An unsigned longword for the key value (libraries with binary keys)
  • The RFA argument, which is the address of a 2-longword array containing the RFA of the module header
  • The key's type, whose flag bits are as follows:
    Flag Bits Description
    LBR$M_SYM_WEAK = 1 UNIX-style weak symbol attribute
    LBR$M_SYM_GROUP = 2 Group symbol attribute

The user routine must return a value to indicate success or failure. If the specified user routine returns a false value (low bit = 0), then the index search terminates.

Note that the key found by LBR$SEARCH is valid only during the call to the user-supplied routine. If you want to use the key later, you must copy it.


Condition Values Returned

LBR$_ILLCTL Specified library control index not valid.
LBR$_ILLIDXNUM Specified library index number not valid.
LBR$_KEYNOTFND Library routine did not find any keys with the specified RFA.
LBR$_LIBNOTOPN Specified library not open.

LBR$SET_INDEX

The LBR$SET_INDEX routine sets the index number to use when processing libraries that have more than one index.

Format

LBR$SET_INDEX library_index ,index_number


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value in R0. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Arguments

library_index


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library control index returned by the LBR$INI_CONTROL routine. The library_index argument is the address of the longword that contains the index.

index_number


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Index number you want to establish as the current index number. The index_number argument is the address of the longword that contains the number of the index you want to establish as the current index. Refer to Section 13.1.2.3.

Description

When you call LBR$INI_CONTROL, the Librarian sets the current library index to 1 (the module name table, unless the library is a user-developed library). If you need to process another library index, you must use LBR$SET_INDEX to change the current library index.

Note that macro, help, and text libraries contain only one index; therefore, you do not need to call LBR$SET_INDEX. Object libraries contain two indexes. If you want to access the global symbol table, you must call the LBR$SET_INDEX routine to set the index number. User-developed libraries can contain more than one index; therefore, you may need to call LBR$SET_INDEX to set the index number.

Upon successful completion, LBR$SET_INDEX sets the current library index to the requested index number. LBR routines number indexes starting with 1.


Condition Values Returned

LBR$_ILLCTL Specified library control index not valid.
LBR$_ILLIDXNUM Library index number specified not valid.
LBR$_LIBNOTOPN Specified library not open.

LBR$SET_LOCATE

The LBR$SET_LOCATE routine sets the record access of LBR subroutines to locate mode.

Format

LBR$SET_LOCATE library_index


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value in R0. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Argument

library_index


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library control index returned by the LBR$INI_CONTROL routine. The library_index argument is the address of the longword that contains the index.

Description

Librarian record access may be set to move mode (the default set by LBR$SET_MOVE) or locate mode. The setting affects the operation of the LBR$GET_RECORD routine.

If move mode is set (the default), LBR$GET_RECORD copies the requested record to the specified user buffer. If locate mode is set, the record is not copied. Instead, the outbufdes descriptor is set to reference the internal LBR subroutine buffer that contains the record.


Condition Values Returned

LBR$_ILLCTL Specified library control index not valid.
LBR$_LIBNOTOPN Specified library not open.

LBR$SET_MODULE

The LBR$SET_MODULE routine reads, and optionally updates, the module header associated with a given record's file address (RFA).

Format

LBR$SET_MODULE library_index ,rfa [,bufdesc] [,buflen] [,updatedesc]


RETURNS


OpenVMS usage: cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value

Longword condition value. Most utility routines return a condition value in R0. Condition values that this routine can return are listed under Condition Values Returned.


Arguments

library_index


OpenVMS usage: longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Library control index returned by the LBR$INI_CONTROL routine. The library_index argument is the address of the longword that contains the index.

rfa


OpenVMS usage: vector_longword_unsigned
type: longword (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference

Record's file address (RFA) associated with the module header. The rfa argument is the address of a 2-longword array containing the RFA returned by LBR$PUT_RECORD or LBR$LOOKUP_KEY.

bufdesc


OpenVMS usage: char_string
type: character string
access: write only
mechanism: by descriptor

Buffer that receives the module header. The bufdesc argument is the address of a string descriptor pointing to the buffer that receives the module header. The buffer must be the size specified by the symbol MHD$B_USRDAT plus the value of the CRE$L_UHDMAX create option. The MHD$ and CRE$ symbols are defined in the modules $MHDDEF and $CREDEF, which are stored in SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.MLB.

buflen


OpenVMS usage: longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference

Length of the module header. The buflen argument is the address of a longword receiving the length of the returned module header.

updatedesc


OpenVMS usage: char_string
type: character string
access: read only
mechanism: by descriptor

Additional information to be stored with the module header. The updatedesc argument is the address of a string descriptor pointing to additional data that the Librarian stores with the module header. If you include this argument, the Librarian updates the module header with the additional information.

Description

If you specify bufdesc, the LBR routine returns the module header into the buffer. If you specify buflen, the routine also returns the buffer's length. If you specify updatedesc, the routine updates the header information.

You define the maximum length of the update information (by specifying a value for CRE$L_UHDMAX) when you create the library. The Librarian zero-fills the information if it is less than the maximum length or truncates it if it exceeds the maximum length.


Condition Values Returned

LBR$_HDRTRUNC Buffer supplied to hold the module header was too small.
LBR$_ILLCTL Specified library control index not valid.
LBR$_ILLOP Error. The updatedesc argument was supplied and the library was a Version 1.0 library or the library was opened only for read access.
LBR$_INVRFA Specified RFA does not point to a valid module header.
LBR$_LIBNOTOPN Specified library not open.
